WHEN THE FROST IS ON THE PuNKIA.

And the clackin' of the gulneyh ana the

And the ROSTERS hallylooler as he tlptoes on

With the risin' sun to greet him from a night
Of peaceful rest,
AS he leaves the house bareheaded and goes
out to feed the stock,
When the frost is on the punkin and the
folders in the shock.
They's something kindo' hearty-like about
the atmosphere
When the heat, Of summers over and the
coolin' fall Is here
Of course, we miss the flowers and the bios
SONS on the trees,
And the humble of the hummin-birds an
buZzin' Of the bees:
But the airs SO appetizin', and the landscape

of a crisp and sunny morning OF the carly
autumn days
Is q pictur' that no painter has the colorin' to

The husky, rusty rusle of the tassels of the

And the raspin' of the tangled leaves, as
golden as the morn;
The stubble in the f~urries-kind o. lonesome

A-preachin' sermons to us OF the barns they
growed to fill:
The straw-stack in the medder, and the reaper
The HOSES in their stall below-the clover
